       As what?  Modem or modem+router?  Cascading multiple routers can
    cause multiple problems.  If the router in the BGW210-700 is (still)
    active, then you might want to configure the RAX80 as a wireless access
    point, rather than as a full-function router.

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for
    "Set up the router as a WiFi access point".

     

       Or, if it's possible, disable the router in the BGW210-700, and
    connect all your devices to the RAX80.

     

       Either way, one router, not more.

      BGW210-700 is a modem + router and Arris VAP 2500 connected to the modem + router . With a WPS button on the front of it. When I connected it up and then i went to the router login address it took me to the netgear nighthawk no the Netgear genie.

      Don’t get smart (at least read) . You could have kept that comment. I am not up to date on this part but let me see you build a bridge and control employees . I have been in business for 32 years.

           Ok.

           Still true.

           And where does the RAX80 enter the picture?  Why did you get the
        RAX80?

         

        > [...] When I connected it up [...]

         

           What, exactly, did you connect to what, exactly?  (Hint: If a device
        has different types of ports, then "connected to device" is not enough
        detail.)


        > [...] and then i went to the router login address [...]

         

           "went" from where?  Some web browser or other, on some computer or
        other, which is connected to something or other, somehow or other?

         

           What, exactly, does "the router login address" mean to you?
        Copy+paste is more helpful than your interpretation of what it all
        means.

         

        > [...] it took me to the netgear nighthawk no the Netgear genie.

         

           I don't know what that means.


        > Don't get smart [...]

         

           No fear.

         

        > [...] (at least read) . [...]

         

           Reading doesn't help much when the text makes no/little sense.  With
        my weak psychic powers, I can't see what you did, only what you wrote.


        > [...] You could have kept that comment. [...]

         

           Which?

         

        > [...] I have been in business for 32 years.

         

           That's nice, but even if it were 64 years, it would still add nothing
        helpful to this discussion.
